Parker dragging after Monday’s long commercial shoot

Tony Parker has a better appreciation for what his wife, actress Eva Longoria, endures during her career.

Parker joked that he was still tired after a long practice on Monday, followed up with a long after shooting H-E-B commercials that will be shown during the Spurs’ game telecasts.

‘I was just trying to make it through today after the long day yesterday with the three-hour practice and the six-hour shoot with the H-E-B stuff,” Parker said. “I was just trying to make it through today.”

Parker joked that he hoped to play only about five minutes in the Spurs’ preseason opener Thursday night in Houston, but Gregg Popovich will undoubtedly have him in the lineup longer than that.
